Meet the Vibrant Variegated Grasshopper
Spotted in the heart of nature, this colorful insect is known as the Zonocerus variegatus – or simply, the variegated grasshopper.

With its bright yellow body, bold red legs, and patterned wings, this grasshopper isn’t just showing off — those striking colors actually warn predators to stay away. It's nature’s own “Do Not Touch” sign.

Commonly found in tropical parts of Africa, this species loves hanging out in gardens and farmlands, munching on various plants. Despite its beauty, it's considered a pest by many farmers.

Nature always finds a way to amaze.

Meet the Slender Loris (The Tiny Acrobat of the Night)

With wide, glowing eyes and stealthy moves, this primate is a true master of the moonlit jungle!

The Slender Loris is a small, nocturnal primate found in the forests of India and Sri Lanka. Its large, forward-facing eyes help it hunt insects in the dark with pinpoint accuracy.

These tiny creatures are insectivores, but they’ll also snack on small birds, eggs, and plant matter — using their delicate, pincer-like fingers to sn**ch prey with surgical precision.

Their flexible joints and slow, deliberate movements help them creep silently through branches without alerting predators or prey.

Slender Lorises sleep curled up during the day, usually in the fork of a tree, often in small family groups or pairs.

Sadly, they're threatened by habitat loss and illegal pet trade, but conservation efforts are working to protect their future.

Red colobus monkeys are among the most threatened primates in Africa-and the Ugandan red colobus is no exception. Found mainly in the canopy of Kibale National Park, this striking monkey is known for its reddish coat, dark face, and graceful movements through the treetops.

Caught these two on a leaf today — a praying mantis and a weevil just vibing 😄

Fun fact: mantises can turn their heads (yes, like humans), and some weevils fake their death to escape trouble.

Nature’s got jokes and skills.

Elephants are truly emotional beings, they don’t just feel deeply, they show it too. 💛
In the wild, they comfort and bond with each other through trunk hugs, gentle touches, and body contact - just like we do.

Chimpanzee!

Chimpanzees laugh when they’re tickled — just like humans!

Their laughter sounds like rhythmic panting and is a key part of how they bond and play.

Have you ever heard a chimp laugh?

WORLD’S MOST TRAFFICKED MAMMAL?

You probably haven’t seen one in the wild, but the pangolin is silently disappearing.

Covered in armor-like scales and feeding on ants, pangolins are nature’s pest control. Yet today, they’re being hunted to near extinction for bushmeat and illegal medicine trade, especially across Africa and Asia.

Fun fact: A pangolin can eat up to 70 million insects in a year (talk about eco-friendly pest control!)

Let’s not wait until they’re gone to start caring.
